Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of battery charging racks, in particular to an overflow device of a charging rack. Background Art

[0002] A device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy is called a chemical cell, often referred to as a battery. After discharge, the internal active materials can be regenerated through recharging, storing the electrical energy as chemical energy. When discharged, the chemical energy is converted back into electrical energy. This type of battery is called a storage battery. In the discharged state, the positive electrode of a lead-acid battery is primarily composed of lead dioxide, and the negative electrode is primarily composed of lead. When charged, the primary components of both the positive and negative electrodes are lead sulfate. Charging a lead-acid battery involves connecting an external DC power supply to the battery, converting the electrical energy into chemical energy for storage. In the lead-acid battery manufacturing industry, water cooling is the primary method of cooling the battery during charging. However, the cooling water level must not exceed the battery's safe water level during use, as this can cause short circuits and other hazards. Therefore, overflow holes are typically installed in battery charging tanks. Since batteries from different batches vary in height, the corresponding safe water levels also vary. Using a single overflow hole would undoubtedly not meet practical requirements. Utility Model Content
